Veritas Storage Foundation™ for Oracle 5.0.1 Administrator's Guide

To add the NEW, MEDIUM, and OLD storage classes
◆
Use the dbdst_admin command as follows:
$ /opt/VRTS/bin/dbdst_admin -S PROD -o addclass=\
NEW:"EMC Storage for Production DB"
$ /opt/VRTS/bin/dbdst_admin -S PROD -o addclass=\
MEDIUM:"Clarion Storage for Production DB"
$ /opt/VRTS/bin/dbdst_admin -S PROD -o addclass=\
OLD:"JBOD Storage for Production DB"
To convert the database's file system and add volumes for use with Database
Dynamic Storage Tiering
◆
Use the dbdst_convert command as follows:
$ /opt/VRTS/bin/dbdst_convert -S PROD \
-M /dev/vx/dsk/oradg/oralog -v emc_v1,clarion_v1,jbod_v1
To classify volumes into storage classes
◆
Use the dbdst_classify command as follows:
$ /opt/VRTS/bin/dbdst_classify -S PROD \
-M /dev/vx/dsk/oradg/oralog -v emc_v1:NEW
$ /opt/VRTS/bin/dbdst_classify -S PROD \
-M /dev/vx/dsk/oradg/oralog -v clarion_v1:MEDIUM
$ /opt/VRTS/bin/dbdst_classify -S PROD \
-M /dev/vx/dsk/oradg/oralog -v jbod_v1:OLD
Once the volumes are configured, an administrator can define file placement
policy rules that specify access age-based relocation of selected files and assign
them to the database’s file system.
